Something The Boy Said - Sting

作词：Sting

作曲：Sting

When we set out on this journey

There were no doubts in our minds

We set our eyes to the distance

We would find what we would find

We took courage from our numbers

What we sought we did not fear

Sometimes we'd glimpse a shadow falling

The shadow would disappear

But our thoughts kept returning

To something the boy said

As we turned to go

He said you'll never see our faces again

You'll be food for a carrion crow

Every step we took today

Our thoughts would always stray

From the wind on the moor so wild

To the words of the captain's child

Something the boy said

Something the boy said

Something the boy said

Something the boy said

In the circles we made with our fires

We talked of the pale afternoon

The clouds were like dark riders

Flying on the face of the moon

We spoke our fears to the captain

Asked what his son could know

We never have marched so far

To be food for a crow

Every step we took today

Our thoughts would always stray

From the wind on the moor so wild

To the words of the captain's child

Something the boy said

Something the boy said

Something the boy said

Something the boy said

When I awoke this morning

The sun's eye was red as blood

The stench of burning corpses

Faces in the mud

Am I dead or am I living

I'm too afraid to care I'm too afraid to know

I'm too afraid to look behind me

At the feast of the crow

We spoke our fears to the captain

Asked what his son could know

We would never have marched so far

To be food

Food for a crow

Food for a crow

Food for a crow

Something the boy said

Something the boy said

Food for a crow

Something the boy said

Something the boy said

Food for a crow
